I had over 3.5 hrs. of uninterrupted time observing them do what they do!</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">I was over the moon when I looked back at some of the photos and video footage I was able to capture that day. </p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">This pair was flying together, and for the birders here, she did still have the bump on her beak (meaning she hadn't mated yet) and he was in his full mating plumage.</p><p style="text-align: left;">It sure is amazing what I've learned about them and will be sharing as this series ventures along. </p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">My hope was to try out some different techniques with this series, and as fate would have it. I've been selected into a University level Art Institute. Yeah me! After all these years, timing is perfect.</p><p style="text-align: left;">This next 52 weeks will be like boot camp, but I am ready and into the challenges. </p><p style="text-align: left;">I am starting week 7 as I finish this painting, fat over lean. </p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Learning so much, and absolutely, loved doing this abstractness with realism. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Some of my past Mentors had mentioned this to me and I was hesitant. </p><p style="text-align: left;">They complimented me on my drawing skills and actually said they wished they could do it!</p><p style="text-align: left;">It sure is something, how we do not think of these things ourselves. </p><p style="text-align: left;">(I think, most of us are very humble and need to be advised)</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">I do believe, if you are meant to do something, the doors will open and lead you to your destination.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Thinking on this, an artist reached out to me. That was sort of was doing what I had envisioned in my mind with other subjects and backgrounds. She said there is an art movement going on and she thought I'd be perfect to join in.</p><p style="text-align: left;">After reading about them, all their ethics and philosophy were right in sync to what I have always thought. The two came together and now I am enrolled. The more I study, the more I realize how destined this was!</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">This year should be nothing but truly amazing transformation! (and then of course from there on)</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Difficult yes, learning curves even more and hopefully successes. </p><p style="text-align: left;">I have always believed, this was my journey!

Sometimes you completely WOW yourself. </p><p style="text-align: left;">There were lots of graphite and charcoal studies completed as well during this time. I only included one to give you the feel of them. </p><p style="text-align: left;">I'll be taking a week off my studies (or at least a few days) to catch up on other business related things and household organization that goes awry over the art process. (maybe I'll even have Tea with a neighbour) </p><p style="text-align: left;">During this last 4 weeks, I've really embraced that,</p><p style="text-align: left;">It's okay to honour your work and yourself! It's a big deal now more than ever that we are okay within our own skin.</p><p style="text-align: left;">So much is involved in the art practice, it's rewarding to see artists share, how and what they do. As well know that we can really dislike a painting, moments before we fall in love with it. And then maybe even hate it again, to like it even more.</p><p style="text-align: left;">It's an emotional roller coaster most days and it's great to learn how to keep it all together. Rejoice in those moments and know, it's okay if we don't succeed each time. Growing is through failing. Failing is trying what you are afraid to do. (this has stopped many and I know this feeling)</p><p style="text-align: left;">The Arts truly amaze me, on each level of learning. There is so much to learn and the more you learn the more you know you have more to learn. I guess, that's why it's referred to as a study of the arts. </p><p style="text-align: left;">You accept the challenge that this is a life long commitment! (at least I know I have)</p><p style="text-align: left;">The Arts Community is another adventure I enjoy, :)</p><p style="text-align: left;">We are nothing alone, it truly takes a community. </p><p style="text-align: left;">I feel fortunate to be in the communities I am in and have all the support through each learning curve. </p><p style="text-align: left;">My Mentors, deserve more than a Medal! I love when I ask questions (and I always have many)</p><p style="text-align: left;">that they are straight up with me and give quality answers. </p><p style="text-align: left;">This in itself, means so much to artists. As well, taking the time to put in your own research and the hours of hard work. </p><p style="text-align: left;">I am very happy I put in this work this month. So much more to go. But, I am willing to do so. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Here's on seeing what next month will bring. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Completely different studies, I am sure. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Thanks for being here along this journey as you are now a part of my story. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Cheers, until next month!</p><p style="text-align: left;">Lynda</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">P.S.

You can actually learn so much from them. </div><div>Not to copy them, but to learn and make it your own. </div><div><br /></div><div>This year, you may see my work, go through some phases again in learning. Trying out new techniques, subject matter, etc. </div><div>It's sure to be a blast for sure. </div><div><br /></div><div>Until then, please find pleasure in sharing with me, the accomplishments to date in 2023. </div><div><br /></div><div>Thank you, for being a part of this wonderful artful journey!</div><div><br /></div><div>Lynda </div><div><br /></div><div>P.S.

Oh my just a few years back now, 2002. Time sure does fly! </p><p style="text-align: left;">We always seem to venture up north to feed our souls and enjoy some time together when we can and this time is most important to our well being.</p><p style="text-align: left;">It's time to feel very Thankful for our life together and how far we have come. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Our visions, tell us there is lots to do yet, although, we do celebrate the small daily accomplishments as best we can. Makes our lives, just like we want it, truly humble, appreciated and grateful. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Sitting here, along side the lake, watching the sunrise together, listening to the leaves rustle in the wind, while the loons called to our delight!</p><p style="text-align: left;">As we rejoice with nature, as a couple. All this feeds into my soul and takes my painting to another level.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Just being one in nature and viewing it restfully makes you so aware of more things around you.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Your creative juices start to flow and your creative eyes see more. </p><p style="text-align: left;">Sketching in Algonquin has become very large part of my studio practice and once back in the studio it allows these memories, sounds, senses to be drawn back up with an intense yearning.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I'll share with you more on this in another video and blog post but for today or whenever you can take a moment to relax and unwind with nature, please view this video put together for you in thanks for being a part of our journey!</p><p style="text-align: left;">You can click on this link and be transported over to YouTube:</p><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://youtu.be/KMPuwMUHKwM" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/KMPuwMUHKwM</a><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">If you do not have YouTube you can check out this video on my Insta channel where I share it in a mpv4 version: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CyBS9afAuAo/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/reel/CyBS9afAuAo/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==</a></p><p style="text-align: center;"><u><br /></u></p><p style="text-align: center;"><u>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</u></p><p style="text-align: left;"><u><br /></u></p><p style="text-align: left;"><u>Art Delivered to Algonquin Park!</u></p><p style="text-align: left;"><u><br /></u></p><p style="text-align: left;">Delivering art work for a group I am a member of The E.C.O.A.A.</p><p style="text-align: left;">It is such a pleasure to paint for this show every year and I am Celebrating, over 15years of with them.

Every time, I saw them they looked so Majestic as a pair. A voice inside me kept saying Wow, what a Power Couple! Hence their Title.</p><p>The painting was inspired, by watching them rebuild their home, daily hunting, and watching over each other as depicted in this painting. They truly are a stately pair.</p><p><br /></p><p></p><p><span style="text-decoration-line: underline;">My journey to this Art Comp is full circle for sure.</span></p><p></p><p>You see I was born in London, ON and my Aunt Joanie worked in this building for Kellogg's.</p><p>We walked by it every day to school, the picture show, etc. </p><p>I grew up watching my father sketch in pencil at the kitchen table every night after supper.</p><p>My grandmother sketched in charcoal. (I still have their tools in my studio)</p><p>I was determined to try the arts and not to let the arts die with them for our family.</p><p>I believe they know, I am doing my best!</p><p><br /></p><p>Never in a million years did I think, my art would be shown here. </p><p><br /></p><p></p><p>I knew so many of my peers were submitting for this show, I almost didn't.</p><p>Then late one night really close to the show, I was urged too. </p><p>(I believe my angels were encouraging me) I know they are cheering me on and happy I did. </p><p><br /></p><p></p><p>I am over the Moon to be exhibiting at this Amazing Show and hope you take the time to go visit it in person!</p><p><br /></p><p>If you are unable too, please take the time to vote for an artist.

I believe through the war on Ukraine meeting and talking with people moving here to Canada to keep on sharing the promises and give hope to those who need it!</p><p style="text-align: left;">This encouragement and support of my fellow colleagues and mentors has me growing in new directions, digging deep into my arts and spreading the art love everywhere.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Speaking of which, If you are looking to see some art in person, (in doors keeping out of this non air quality).

And the controversy will probably continue along with many others. </p><p>I believe you know in your heart, your soul talks to you. At least mine does. </p><p><br /></p><p>I personally grew up celebrating wearing Easter bonnets, egg hunting with cousins and getting a basket of fun filled toys and chocolate eggs. One always had my name on it, spelled correctly: Lynda :)</p><p>Made my day to get that!</p><p><br /></p><p>We also, went to church and learned why Jesus was Crusified to save our sins. </p><p>I found an anonymous post on this and shared it on my personal Facebook page. </p><p>It's really deep, might even bring a tear or two to your eyes, but I felt compelled to share it.</p><p>The response has been wonderful and I am so glad to say it reached so many and touched them, leaving remarks as I felt when I read it as well. </p><p>Some even wrote to me privately, to say they didn't know this. They moved to Canada from other countries and thanked me for sharing this information. (I knew then, I was so glad I believed I should do it.)</p><p><br /></p><p>In such an uncertain time as we are living in, even though a happy celebration for those young ones hunting eggs. And Grandma's making memories and so on. </p><p>I just had to make mention of this over Easter to hopefully let someone know who doesn't. The reason</p><p>why Jesus gave up his Crown to die to save our Sins! So, we could have eternal Life if we believe in him. </p><p>Wow! That is the most incredibly unselfish act, I can even believe in. </p><p>Take a minute and go read this if you are on social, if you are not and would like me to send it to you personally. Please reach out and I'll be sure to send it over. </p><p>You know what, I'll enclose it here and save you a step or two. </p><p><br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhOc0LmRQr7nQKFioxnPrBkMqxiT718_2sChaQBIG5z_dxlsl6T9wfeW9_MQoguDnHHEs-POXzi1x_-tPDqMxNaXQ-jSLKZyAK2DtKAOjJeTUHYxcfDmRbK_2obhDkX25OmBnGslhadShf1mX4Y7nHrCXeQWm7oDVPk7HGAf5mP_WLB5EHTtYqBpRTYEQ" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="832" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhOc0LmRQr7nQKFioxnPrBkMqxiT718_2sChaQBIG5z_dxlsl6T9wfeW9_MQoguDnHHEs-POXzi1x_-tPDqMxNaXQ-jSLKZyAK2DtKAOjJeTUHYxcfDmRbK_2obhDkX25OmBnGslhadShf1mX4Y7nHrCXeQWm7oDVPk7HGAf5mP_WLB5EHTtYqBpRTYEQ" width="208" /></a></div><br /><p></p><div class="x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r x1vvkbs xdj266r x126k92a" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit;">He received 39 stripes because 40 was known to kill a man.

style="text-align: center;">I Share with you my thoughts in </p><p style="text-align: center;">Honour of our Heroes!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I'd like to pay Tribute to The Veterans who have fought for this Country.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">I come from a long line of Veteran Soldiers, </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">My Father in World War 2 - Army</p><p style="text-align: center;">with both of his brothers.</p><p style="text-align: center;">(My Uncle Gerry- Marines & Bill - Navy)</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">My Mother in the Militia World War 2</p><p style="text-align: center;">(carried a 303 rifle)</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">My Grand Father, in the RCAF,</p><p style="text-align: center;">Flew in World War 1</p><p style="text-align: center;">(they barely invented planes, just a few years earlier)</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">They all made it Home Safely!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Their Pride for their Country and their strength and commitment to </p><p style="text-align: center;">take up arms and fight to Protect us all</p><p style="text-align: center;">for Good over evil.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">~~~~~~</p><p style="text-align: center;">Lest We Forget</p><p

to society.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">This is a strength, few hold.</p><p style="text-align: center;">An asset to ones life.</p><p style="text-align:

style="text-align: center;">Maybe this is why, God has gifted me</p><p style="text-align: center;">with the arts!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">A Light, to share with the world.</p><p style="text-align: center;">A peacefulness only he can give.</p><p style="text-align: center;">As I delve deeper into my craft, learning more and pushing myself</p><p
